Water Boys Flood Cleanup Service
Tulsa area: (918) 5DRY-NOW | Chicago area: (312) 888-8379
Flood cleanup that starts fast (because moisture doesn’t wait).
Flood water can spread through your home quickly. Even after visible water recedes, moisture often remains inside drywall, flooring, insulation, and other materials—creating ongoing damage, odors, and mold risk.
At Water Boys, we focus on flood cleanup and professional water mitigation and restoration. Our goal is simple: get the water out, remove contamination where needed, and dry the structure thoroughly to reduce long-term damage.

Warning Signs You Need Professional Flood Cleanup
If you notice any of the following, it’s time to act:
Standing water that remains after the flood subsides
Musty or “wet” odors developing quickly

What Water Boys Does During Flood Cleanup
Our flood cleanup process is built around water removal, contamination control (when applicable), and thorough drying.
Water extraction and removal
Cleanup and decontamination steps based on water category
Structural drying using professional equipment
Moisture monitoring and readings to track progress
Assessment of affected materials and next-step recommendations
Are you also dealing with mold?
Flood events can increase mold risk quickly. Even when mold isn’t visible right away, moisture inside materials can create conditions where mold develops fast. Water Boys focuses on proper drying to help reduce that risk.
Common Complaints About Other Water Damage Restoration Companies
Flood cleanup is stressful, and some providers make it harder. Here’s what homeowners often report—and how Water Boys operates differently.
“They showed up unannounced and pressured me to sign right away.”
Water Boys: We don’t door-knock or chase disasters. You call, we come—no pressure, no hard sell. Just clear information about what we found and what it takes to mitigate damage.
“The invoice was full of line items I didn’t recognize.”
Water Boys: We document everything and explain each step. We work with your insurance company and do not inflate scopes.
“They said I had black mold and needed a full gut job—turned out I didn’t.”
Water Boys: We assess honestly. If the scope is smaller than you feared, we’ll say so.
“They left equipment running for weeks and billed for every day.”
Water Boys: We use moisture readings to determine when drying is complete—not a calendar.
“They were impossible to reach once the job started.”
Water Boys: You get a real point of contact throughout the job, and communication is treated as a priority.
“They weren’t really specialists.”
Water Boys: Flood cleanup and water mitigation/restoration is what we do. We’re licensed, insured, and certified, and we document properly for insurance claims.
